The King is Here: Good News that causes Great Joy

On Sunday we had our Christmas gathering where Alex taught us through Luke’s account of Jesus’ birth, this good news that would bring great joy for all people. The coming of the Messiah is good news, not just a good story. It’s good news because we need it. What we understand from the Scriptures is that humans were designed to be close to God and free but now they are far and enslaved from worship of lesser things. The good news of a savior is that you don’t have to save yourself! Someone came for you, and He is the good news. If you have Him, you have life — abundant life. No fear of death, freedom from the need to be in control, freedom from fear of what people think, an eternal destiny. The news is that a Savior is here to reverse all the effects of the fall by reconnecting humans to the Father who made them. We pray that this week you will be able to celebrate life abundant. To enjoy Him and all He’s done for you. Merry Christmas!
